February 2020 Updates

Hello February!  Seems to be a mix of warm and cold weather going on.  Its really messing with my head.  Cant wait till Spring!  Business continues to be good so hopefully that trend continues.  Southern Maryland is the best place to live! 

The Southern Area Aquatics and Recreation Complex will have its grand opening on February 29 at 1:00 p.m. It is located in Brandywine at 13601 Missouri Avenue.

The Circle K owners say they will start construction of their new location in Allens Fresh next to the Town and Country Motel this March.

Looks like we are going to loose one of our anchor tenants at the Mall.  Sears has announced the closing of the Waldorf location by mid April.  Sears is also closing stores in Baltimore and Annapolis at the same time.  

Vocelli Pizza will be taking over the former Jerry's Subs space in the La Plata Village Shopping Center at 56 Drury Drive.  Look for an early spring opening date. 

Wee Bean Cafe will take over the former Pancakes Plus building in La Plata.  6580 Crain Highway.

Horizon Family Dental Care coming soon to the La Plata Plaza next to Panera and the new location for Five Guys Burgers.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe will be coming to the Fox Run Shopping Center in Prince Frederick.  It will be located on a new retail building located out in front of the former K Mart.  Besides the cafe there will be four other spaces for more stores.  Leases are pending on them so information is not out to the public yet.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe will also be coming to the new Brandywine Village Center which is to be built in front of the Chadds Ford Residential development in Brandywine, MD

End of Year Updates

We have come to the end of another successful year. I wanted to just go thru a few new tenants and updates on things I have mentioned in the past but people have missed due to them getting pushed down the list of blog entries.

Also I want to mention again that the comments are reviewed before they are posted.  These blogs get spammed so I have to approve comments before they show up.  I try to do that as soon as I see you have written something.  It is very rare that I will not post someones comment.  They would have to be very nasty.

I appreciate the input I receive from everyone.

Harris Teeter in California, MD is set to open January 24th. 

Sunbelt Rentals is taking over the former Victory motorcycle dealership on Crain Highway in White Plains, MD.  Renovations are being done to the building now.

The Army Reserve Training Center is under construction in White Plains off of Route 227(Marshall Corner Road).  This is a 90,000 square foot training and recruitment center.

SHARK BAR and SEAFOOD HOUSE

Shark Bar has recently signed a lease at the Pinefield South Shopping Center.  This is a new venture for this group so don't confuse it with any one else with the same name.  It may be a different group.

I hope to get more details in the future.

 Once Upon a Child is under construction at Waldorf Marketplace III next to Fosters Grille.  They specialize in gently used children's clothes, toys, and furniture.
